Last night my grandad passed away. He was a very kind and intelligent man, and I'm lucky to have so many good memories of him. Some of my earliest are of him teaching me how to subtract with sweets, or telling me about his time in the RAF. He was brilliant and I'll miss him a lot
NEVER LET A GAME OF THRONES FAN RIDICULE YOU FOR LIKING WRESTLING AGAIN.
I like GoT but everyone's acting like we do after WrestleMania, except with dragons. They do know it's not real, right?
Never fails to amaze me how many fans root for a company to do the best business possible, rather than tell the best stories or put on the best matches
So many people upset that WWE went with one of the biggest superstars - not wrestling superstars, overall superstars - on the planet for WrestleMania. This match is going to get the most mainstream exposure in history. And Cody will finish the story at some point.
#AutismAwarenessWeek
is so important. Me and my brother both became hooked on wrestling as kids, and he'd do my job 10x better than me if it wasn't for his autism. Nobody should be misunderstood or patronised due to a disability, & I'm so pleased to see so many tweets about it.
I've always thought of myself as a 'bit of a worrier', but recently it's become quite bad. So I wrote this to try and rationalise it and make it a bit easier to handle.
Read it if you want to, don't if you don't, it's all good :)
I usually try to ignore online 'hate' or whatever, but woke up to a comment about my appearance today and it's really knocked me. Feel so unmotivated, so I'm gonna be ignoring social media for a little while. Apologies if you don't get a reply. Watch what you say to people man
Do you remember at school learning about certain political figures and dictators in history, and thinking along the lines of 'how did they garner support for so long despite being so obviously inept and/or evil?'
Yeahhh.
#AutismAwarenessDay
Autism's a wide spectrum. You might never know someone is autistic, or you might assume someone's just a badly behaved kid. Even nowadays my brother can react badly to situations outside of his comfort zone. It's always good to be aware
Found out today that my grandad passed away. He was a great musician and a wonderful singer, and always full of laughter and joy. Also a Newcastle fan so I’m glad they won today at least. I’ll miss him lots.
Okay Bryan, huge match on Wednesday, so there's gonna be a lot of eyes on the product, and a lot of eyes on you and Kenny. You've been in this situation before so I'm sure you're used to the publicity, just make sure you don't say anything wei-
I saw Hiroshi Tanahashi beat Kenny Omega in the Tokyo Dome and he air guitared for about 20 minutes afterwards and everyone cheered very loudly. I was hungover and it only made me feel worse. "Babyface of a generation" my arse, I hope CM Punk fucking decks him.
Hey
@SamiZayn
you won’t have seen because you were facing the other way, but Roman stopped smiling when he hugged you, please leave the building I think you’re in danger xx
Some people might have noticed I've been away from videos for a little while - unfortunately I've had some bad family news. I'm keen to record this week's podcast, but still waiting on updates so I'm unsure atm. Huge thanks to the guys at work for covering my stuff recently
Genuine conversation from today:
Pacitti: 'How quickly do you think Lesnar will beat Rollins?'
Me: 'I think Rollins might win.'
Pacitti: 'Why!?'
Me: '...he promised on Raw.'
Am I an idiot?
Once again, this highlights what a mistake they made last year with Roman over Cody. Why would he happily delay “finishing the story” while going after the guy he’s beaten 3 times already? Goes against his whole character. And Punk even joked about this in their Raw promo!
I'm obviously a huge Punk fan, but I also want AEW to thrive, and I'm disappointed. I think this backfired.
While it's not a good look to be aggressive towards a younger guy lower on the card who isn't posing a threat in the moment, the pearl-clutching from AEW looks bizarre now.
June 9th, CM Punk comes out for his fight at UFC 225, pulls down his hood...it's Colt Cabana!?
SMASH CUT TO JAPAN, THE REAL PUNK RUNS OUT AND COSTS OKADA. SEISMIC CHANGES IN THE WORLD OF WRESTLING
(don't check the time zones pls)
Bryan: 'I hate the Miz'
Brie: 'And don't get me started on Maryse'
Bryan: 'This calls for a stipulation. You thinking what I'm thinking?'
Brie: 'I think I am.'
Bryan: 'Yes. A BURIED ALIVE MATCH'
V frustrating that we've just seen 60 minutes of the most organic babyface in wrestling vs. one of the greatest ever, and some people's first response is to pretend they didn't like it
President Tanahashi’s words to Okada post match:
Okada: “Thank you, Tanahashi-san.”
Tanahashi: “For now, it’s over for today. I’m proud of you.”
Okada: “Thank you.”
Tanahashi: "Show the world what we've done here."
Okada: “Okay.”
Tanahashi: “Come with me, I’ll show you off.”
On the hotel punishment vid, Pacitti made a joke about having his first kiss at 29.
One of the comments has totally missed the joke like 'First kiss at 29? Pathetic I had my first kiss when I was 13', and someone's replied YOU A BIG BOY. It's made my day.
Cena's really going in on a retired guy for wanting to stay retired. Does that work for everyone? Imagine if he was like 'KING KONG BUNDY, if you do not accept my challenge you are nothing but a COWARD.'
Yo I've had 2 whole drinks and I'm feeling proper grateful. Thanks everyone who's supported us so far, I cannot believe Cultaholic has taken off as well as it has.
Big Cass: 'At Backlash, you're not gonna get a 5 star match. You're gonna get a 5 second match.'
Well. He's not gonna do very well on Wrestlers of the Week with THAT attitude.
My brother has autism so no, I won't laugh along with it.
I also like to think that even if nobody in my life had a mental disability, I'd still be a good enough person not to mock disabilities.
I'm gonna need tonight's Raw to open with a 30 minute meeting where Seth Rollins tries to get to the bottom of why Team Raw didn't
BURN.
IT.
DOWN.
at Survivor Series last night.
